After some contacts with kernel bugzilla maintainer, a new category were
recently introduced, called "v4l-dvb". Previously, we are receiving bugs
as "Video" "Other".
This category allows opening bugs at the following components:
bt8xx
cx88
dvb-core
dvb-frontend
dvb-usb
em28xx
pvrusb
radio
saa7134
ttpci
v4l-core
webcam
v4l-other
dvb-other
We have about 200 different kernel modules, so, creating a category for
each of them would just make hard to the user. So, there are two
"generic" categories: "v4l-other" and "dvb-other" (for other v4l or dvb
troubles not covered at the rest of the categories).
If we notice a particular module is requiring more attention at the
"other" categories, we may ask adding a new component for it.
With bugzilla, it will be easier for us to have a knowledge base of
bugs, solutions and patches.
I'd kindly like to invite all driver maintainers to create an account
there, and to use it regularly.
For the users, this is a good channel to open issues about the drivers.
Have fun!
Cheers,
Mauro.
